Natalie Merrick, of Soldotna, and Susie Stafford, of Kenai, have a laugh after joking about running into traffic to deliver materials for the Green Dot Alaska campaign Tuesday April 8, 2014 in Soldotna, Alaska. The two were joined by others who stood at the intersection of the Kenai Spur Highway and the Sterling Highway offering information about the campaign to drivers who were interested. It is a violence prevention initiative funded through the Council on Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault and is currently being implemented in five Alaskan communities including Homer, Fairbanks, Juneau and Kenai.
